Usain Bolt Enjoys Visit to Mystic Mountain

While his fleet feet gave the illusion of flight as he raced to gold medal victory during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, world record-shattering sprinter Usain Bolt recently had the chance to really fly through the air with the greatest of ease as he soared through a forest on a Zipline Tranopy at Mystic Mountain.

The latest tourist attraction in Ocho Rios, Mystic Mountain also welcomed fellow 2008 Olympians Asafa Powell, Michael Frater, Nesta Carter and Melanie Walker, who had the opportunity to experience a sport that brought prominence to the island of Jamaica in the 1988 Winter Olympics-- bobsledding. This warm weather version offers a 10-minute ride at 28 mph through an area of the 100-acre site.

Like the sightseers who have visited Mystic Mountain since its summer 2008 opening, the athletes also had the chance to enjoy the beauty of the tropical paradise on the Rainforest Sky Explorer, an open-air charlift which takes tourists on a half hour ride through the verdant landscape.
